Chapter 1294
When Love Comes Late
Matthew took one hand off the steering wheel, took Stellaâs hand in his, and said, âYou can do it.
â
In Pinster Hospital, Flossie was resting on her usual small bed after dinner.
Benny, who was used to Flossieâs chatty nature, noticed she was oddly quiet as he played with his phone.
When he looked over, he saw Flossie turned away from him, shaking slightly.
âFlossie?â he called out, concerned, but got no reply.
Putting his phone down, Benny walked over to her and saw her face was bright red.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â he asked gently, but Flossie didnât say anything.
Benny, looking worried, touched her forehead and found it was burning up, a clear sign of a fever.
He quickly pressed the call button for the nurse.

The nurse came in fast, thinking Benny needed help, but found him standing by Flossieâs bed.
âWhatâs the matter?â the nurse asked.
Benny pointed to Flossie, saying, âI think sheâs got a fever.
Can you check on her?â
The nurse used a thermometer and found Flossieâs temperature was 38.
6 degrees Celsius.
âSheâs definitely feverish.
She needs to sit up and get an IV.
â
Benny was about to explain they werenât dating when a weak cough cut him off.
Flossie woke up, her eyes slowly opening as she said in a raspy voice, âDonât worry about me.
Maybe check with the doctor for some medicine.
I donât need an IV.
I want to stay here with him.
â
Benny was shocked, and the nurse noticed his surprise.

She let out a sigh and said to Benny, âYour girlfriend really looks out for you.
She didnât leave your side while you were in a coma.
And now, even with a fever, sheâs more worried about you than herself.
Itâs rare to see such dedication.
â
It was clear the nurse wanted Benny to appreciate Flossieâs devotion.
Benny looked down at Flossie and said softly, âGo get her some medicine.
Iâll take care of her.
â
The nurse nodded with a smile.
âThatâs the spirit.
â
That night, Benny kept watch by Flossieâs bed, giving her medicine and ensuring she was comfortable until she fell asleep.
As he started to feel sleepy, Flossie suddenly turned and grabbed his arm.
Benny, trying not to move, stayed quiet, his thoughts becoming more complex.
